Brand note

Dermalogica is a professional skincare brand that creators turn to for reliable, results-driven formulas, especially when prepping skin for makeup. The Daily Microfoliant is the clear hero — a rice-based powder that turns into a creamy, gently gritty foam, effective enough to smooth texture but mild enough for daily use. The trade-off is the $69 price tag, which some find hard to justify, and the caution to avoid pairing it with strong actives in the same routine.
